5 Handy Tips To Keep Your Utensils Like New
Choosing the right kitchen tools is no easy task, and once you grow to love a certain thing, the last thing you want to do is change it. Here are some tips to make your utensils last longer at the top of their game:

5. Keep your pots from boiling over: placing a wooden spoon over your pot while boiling pasta or veggies will keep the water under control and inside your pot.

4. Keep your cast iron like new: never wash your cast iron skillets or pans with soap and water, or they will rust. Instead use a salt scrub or water with a tad of salt to help the bits of food that could have gotten stuck come off,

3. Keep your knives at their sharpest: store your knives with the blades facing upwards not to dull them. When you're using them to transfer food you've already cut, Use their back and not their blades to gather the food.
2. Keep your wooden cutting boards fresh: every now and then, scrub a lemon and some sea salt to remove any bits of food or strange aromas that stick to them when in use. Food-grade mineral oil is also great to keep them from cracking.

1. Keep your wooden spoons free from food or odors: when you feel a woodenspoon is starting to get a little sticky and weird, boil it in salt water for around ten minutes and let them drying out in the sun. After that, they'll be as good as new!
